Nice. I have been checking out HD cameras and settled on the same Canon camera for when/if I make an upgrade. I've had a GL2 for years and the XH A1 seems to be the best replacement. I hate shooting golf with anything less than 16x zoom, and prefer 20x, so many options are ruled out early. I think I'd go for the A1s only because it allows for recording both native audio and a line input at the same time. Between costs for the camera, a beefier PC for capture/editing, and software for working with HD, it will be an expensive upgrade. How are you handling the editing end of things? I think a quality video card to handle HD will cost me more than the whole PC I'm using now to work with standard def video...

Hello Disc Golf Live ~ I didn't make the video so I can''t answer your question ~ The fellow who did the recording uses the sign-in name Video1138 on YouTube. I was at the course when he was setting up ~ Not sure if he has done other disc golf videos ~ the guy doing the narration sure has the voice for the job.

Par 2 hole? There is no such thing.
Par 4s at Lake Stevens? Not so much.
Other than those minor semantic problems, that is a good video!

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. When Dr. Fred first put the course in, he called two of the holes a par 2. I think they were holes 2 and 10. Not sure why he thought these should be par 2's. He also designed a nine hole par 4 layout which is pretty cool if there aren't other players around at the time.

Gawain, do you still have a link to that old video you did at Lake Stevens many years ago? The one to the soundtrack of Da Da Da....that was funny sht!

This may be blasphamous to the locals, but will those janky baskets ever get replaced?

I heard a rumor that due to the popularity of the LS baskets, the city of Seatac has approached the city of Lake Stevens in regards to a basket swapping proposition. Apparently the initiative is to move the LS baskets to Seatac for the summer. Not sure how the city council here voted on it. I will miss those egg baskets....

Whatever happened to old Doc Fred? I remember him from the earliest days of disc golf discussion, when about the only resource was a sub category on a rec.sports.disc, mostly populated by ultimate players. While his directional basket designs may have merit, his cantankerousness didn't help his own cause very much.

It's not all Lake Stevens, but quite a bit of it is. That is an old video. The baskets are in the old locations and there is a lot more underbrush. It's good to see young Gawain and Jordan playing this course.
